A/N: The draft was established last year then rendered this year to putting its finalized result on hold for additional characters. Can't say how soon I'll get around with the rest so might as well post this half. Something to make up for the recent lack of art

Aspa de Borgoña flameando al viento

Hijos de Santiago grandes son los tercios

Escuadrón de picas, flancos a cubierto

Solo es libre el hombre que no tiene miedo

Translation:

Cross of Burgundy fluttering in the wind

Children of Saint James great are the Tercios

Pike escuadrón, flanks covered

Free is only the man who is not afraid

The tercio was a military administrative unit that contained around 3,000 troops. In the battlefield the tercio would form pike and shot formations called the escuadrón. Through the use of the tercio, Spain would dominate land warfare in the European continent from the 1500s to the 1600s.

Depicted in this piece is the Spanish tercio during the battle of Rocroi (1643). This battle is often reffered to as the begining of the downfall of the tercio. However, it should be noted that the Spanish tercios in this battle were never defeated.

At Rocroi, the Spanish cavalry was routed and the Spanish artillery was captured by the opposing French army. But the tercios stood strong. Withstanding artillery bombardment and numerous infantry and cavalry attacks, the tercios managed to hold.

Having the Spanish surrounded and outnumbered, the French asked them to surrender. In response, the Spanish said: "His Excellency seems to forget he is facing a Spanish tercio."

After more numerous failed attacks that were unable to break the tercios, the French eventually allowed an honorable surrender for the Spanish, where they could march out of the field, complete with their colors and weapons.

The 84th Sigman Kerberos Scions Regiment is a very large and oversized compared to standard Guard regiments. While the average Guard Regiment is anywhere from 3 to 20 Companies strong, the 84th Sigman Kerberos true size is unknown but is believed to be approximately 65 Companies in Strength.

The Regiment However is never deployed in full to any one theater. Instead it it parceled into individual Brigade Task Forces that are then distributed across the Imperium. A Single Brigade Task Force is usually attached to support entire Army Groups

To Round out these Brigade Task Forces thay are supplemented with elements from other formations from their home system

>Centurion Rangers: where Commisars and Arbites would be employed in other Imperial Organizations, these roles are both filled by the Centurion Rangers.

Their Organization Forged in the fires of a Genestealer Infested Civil War, the Centurion Rangers started as a task force ment to root out Genestealers Leader. By combining Commisars with Arbites, Scola Tempestus Cadets, and Blooded Veteran Kanak Skulltaker Headhunters, the task force managed to seek out and destroy countless Genestealer Hero Units at the cost of horrendous Mass Casualties. What was left after the war was over were an elite group of extremely hardened veteran fighters. These fighters were then distributed across numerous Rual Communities to enforce the Law, and Rally Militias, and Lead PDF Units when a Savage Orc Waaagh rises or a Planetary Invasion occurs.

>Aquillacan Carabineer RoughRiders: The Force Recon Company consists of the most experienced and elite RoughRider Veterans the Aquillacan Carabineers have to offer. Deployed as Recon Scouts, Pathfinders, shock cav, & guerrilla raiders

>Tercio de Mastìn: The House Guard of Señor Hidalgo Don Coyóte and the newly established Knightly House of La Mancha. The Tercio de Mastìn are a reputable Fighting force of fighting capability equal to many Famed and vaunted Guard Regiments and equipped with arms and armor nearly rivaling the Vostroyan Firstborn in quality. Señor Hidalgo Don Coyóte readily sells the services of Elements of his House Guard for the right price.

Señor Hidalgo Don Coyóte De La Mancha became very fond of the Aquillacan Ogryn population that live among the ethnic Kanaks in the rual Villages that span Planet Ørnverden. Shortly after Establishing the La Mancha House and reforming the Penal Mines of Tecolote IV into the La Mancha Colonial Settlement, Señor Hidalgo Don Coyóte De La Mancha founded a not-for-profit foundation to educate these Rual Ogryns. This endeavor, though not without its share of setbacks and missteps. Has largely been a resounding success. Graduates of these Ogryn Schools have been able to perfom basic addition and subtraction, count past 100, and are often Literate to a 2nd Grade Reading Comprehension level. As well as having spectacular patience, anger management, and overall personal discipline. Señor Hidalgo Don Coyóte Recruites heavily from the graduates of his Ogryn schools and Ogryn Abhumans make up a large proportion of his house guards. The Ogryn community for there part is full of young Ogryn chomping at the bit for a chance to join the Tercios, if only for a chance to wear the colorful uniform and shiny armor. Veteran Ogryns that have fufilled their contract with the Tercios often return to their Rual Villages sporting their fancy uniform and armor to the envy of their peers.

Both the 84th Sigman Kerberos Regiment and Many Aquillacan Carabineers Regiments recruit their Ogryn Abhuman Auxilia exclusivly either by purchasing their contracts directly from the Tercios de Mastìn as Long term Mercenaries, or by recruiting Veteran Tercio Ogryns that have just completed their contracts upon their return home.

>Stray Dogs: the 84th Sigman Kerberos Regiment have gained a tradition of occationaly adopting surviving elements of obliterated Regiments and forming them into Ad-hock Platoons and Companies for use as Auxilary Reserves, Rear Guards, and occasionally as a recruitment pool to replace losses (only if the recruit is particularly talented, and only after they are put through a minimalist in feild recreation of the Schola Tempestus boot camp, any recruits that pass this training and survive the Brigade's tour of Duty will be sent to the 84ths Schola Tempestus on the moon of Ørnverden for proper Scion Training and then be accepted as a Full Tempestus Scion)

The nickname "Stray Dogs" comes from the Wolfspear Chapter of Adeptus Astartes. It is the term of endearment the Wolfspears used to refer to the 84th Sigman Kerberos Brigade that fought by their side.

The 4th Brigade Task Force has adopted the last surviving Elements of the ravaged 444th Kreig Siege Regiment as their Stray Dogs.

The 444th Kreig Siege Regiment was demolished by battlefield casualties in a horrendous conflict in the Imperium Nihilis. Originally 18 Companies strong, they have been reduced to a Single Company strong Ad-hock formation. Abandoned by the administratum and left for dead on a barren rock, the 4th Brigade's Transport vessel just happened to intercept the 444ths distress signal while En Route to their assigned Army Group.

Really hard to find Force Org charts for Tempestus Scion Regiments...

So I kinda just ripped off these guys, then tweaked it a Little.
